Section 15 Lecture on True Magic
"What? You say that magic is stolen from the gods by humans, and it is humans who create magic? hahaha!"
In the corner of Fermoran's tavern, Kyleloyan's hearty laughter that didn't match his image could be heard, perhaps because what he heard touched his laugh. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
At this time, Alicia, who was sitting across the table, was telling him about her and Darron's experience of getting acquainted, and when she talked about the magic lessons she had received from Sidna before going to Necronomicon, Kyloa couldn't help but laugh.
After the Corpse King incident, the town of Fermoran was devastated. But people still gathered in a tavern in the southwest corner to celebrate the monster's repulsion and toast to the party. Tomorrow many of them will have to work to repair the buildings in the town, so they will forget their troubles for a while with the attitude of being drunk tonight, and tomorrow there will be many people who will have a funeral for their loved ones, and they will use the effect of alcohol to relieve their pain, and they will not come tomorrow.
Although Alicia and the others defeated the Corpse King, the dead could not be reborn, thinking of the cruel acts of the black-hearted doctor Dreman in the past few days, those townspeople who had lost their flesh and bones were surging with anger, and they longed to hang him up and whip the corpse for 10,000 years. As for the fate of Dryman's corpse, Alicia felt that she didn't need to worry about it, so she didn't think much about it after handing him over to a group of people with rattling teeth and bloodshot eyes. Whatever treatment he received after his death, it had nothing to do with Alicia, because he deserved everything.
Some people fell into grief and couldn't help themselves, while some strong people came to Alicia and shook hands with her, saying that their children or brothers had been redeemed because of her.
Alicia was ashamed to hear this, she felt like she hadn't done anything at all. The thought of making a generous statement in front of the townsfolk made Alicia's cheeks feel hot. Looking at these people who have lost their flesh and blood relatives, she is full of regret. Because all she did was take down a monster, she didn't really save anyone.
Melissa didn't see it that way, and when she came over to thank her sober parents, her heart was filled with only gratitude. Because Alicia still felt that she had achieved nothing but a bunch of nice things in front of the people. Seeing Alicia like this, Kylloa couldn't help but say:
"There is only so much we can do because we are living in a limited frame of time and space. Therefore, as long as you can handle all the things you encounter within your limited ability, you don't need to blame yourself. β
After hearing this, Alicia still couldn't let go, because the person who completed the fatal blow was Kyllloa. And because it was Alicia who spoke in front of the townspeople, and it was Alicia who delivered the final blow to the Corpse King, so now people are looking to Alicia to express their gratitude, and on the one hand, she feels that she is ashamed, and on the other hand, she also feels that she is very naΓ―ve and incompetent.
Kyloa looked at Alicia as if she were looking at an immature child, and said kindly:
"It's you who deliver the final blow, not me. The most people want is just a good result. And the process of getting this result often goes unnoticed. β
"Didn't I rob you of the credit?" said Alysis, with some weakness.
"Hehe, do you think that with my status, I will care about such a small credit?" Kyeloa's soft smile made him not as fierce as he seemed on the surface, and after coming into contact with this sage, he realized that he was actually a very kind person.
Looking at the smiling face of this person who did not seek fame, Alicia thought to herself, the reason why he gave the final blow to himself and Daron in the first place, was he ready to give all the credit to himself?
As if guessing Alicia's thoughts, Kylloa said:
"Don't think too much, I'm just afraid of trouble, just leave this kind of thing to you young people, I just want to be a hermit. β
Obviously such a powerful magician, but so low-key, Alicia felt more and more in her heart that this sage was a very easy person to contact.
At this time, Alicia, Darlon, Meleva and Kyloa can sit in the corner of the tavern with the aroma of sausages and ale, enjoying the free drink given by the boss, which is also thanks to Kyllloa.
Here, Alicia recounts her journey to Kylloya, interrupting her with a laugh when she talks about some of the accidents she had heard from Sidna about magic before leaving for Necronomicon.
"In my opinion, you must have heard the half-argument from someone who knows a little about magic. β
Alicia winked at Kyeloa, speechless, she didn't expect that some of the mysterious theories about magic that she had managed to remember would be easily rejected by the magical authority in front of her.
"Well, then it seems that I have to correct it here, otherwise this false theory will soon lead everyone's perception of magic in the wrong direction. β
Adjusting his posture in his chair and sitting slightly upright, Kyeloa, as a senior, began to teach the "student" in front of him:
"Magic is not something stolen from the gods, and it is definitely not created by humans. Because, magic was originally a dragon thing. β
"Dragon?" Alicia continued to wink. Daron also took a sip of his beer with a little interest, retracted his bored gaze from the crowd around him, and looked at Kyeloa. Mei Lufa had a look of adoration, and had maintained a high degree of concentration, looking at her appearance, it seemed that she was eager to take out a notebook and record the words of the sage.
"When the continent of Inphilia was first built, the first inhabitants were not humans, but dragons who migrated from other worlds. β
"Are you talking about Ryuki?"
"Well, that's right, the Dragon Age is the first era before humanity. There are some huge and intelligent ancient dragons in the dragon family, who are born to use magic and gradually become the masters of this continent. But then the giant dragons felt that the land of Inphilia could no longer accommodate them to reproduce, so they left one after another. What follows is human civilization. β
"It's the Ancient Magic Kingdom. Daron interjected.
"Indeed, at that time, human beings gained the wisdom of the dragon clan through the study of dragon scripts, and learned to coordinate the power of elves and use magic, and all the tribes formed a single kingdom, which was the ancient magic kingdom at that time. β
"......I see," Alicia sighed.
"I see...... "Melua sighed......
"Why don't you even look like you know it, you're also a magician, don't you know all this knowledge?"
"Woo, I'm sorry!" Mei Lufa was shocked to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly apologized.
"In short, human beings learn magic by their own ability to comprehend, if you want to steal, you are also stealing from the dragon clan, and it has nothing to do with God. There are other reasons why the people of the Holy Kingdom resist magicians. β
"Oh, what is it?" Alicia was curious.
"The lazy high priests firmly believe that humans can rest easy under the protection of the divine light, so it is ridiculous that magic is regarded as heretical. Because of Kyllloa's turn of words, Alicia almost didn't catch up. Daron on the side raised his glass at this time, covering the corners of his mouth with a knowing smile.
"Believing in the goddess of light, they believe that the nature that God has built should be kept as it is, so that it can be harmonious. The so-called magic is the act of gathering magic and Manna in an abnormal place, so in the eyes of the people of Faris, magic is just a desecration of the power of the elves, and it is an act that causes chaos. β
While their notions of coordination are not inherently wrong, their misconceptions about magic are scornful. Long relying on the divine power of the goddess of light, the people of Faris have become too dependent on the gods, and if this continues, it is estimated that they will think that they can have enough food and clothing by praying, or even doing their own work. However, it is not faith that humans learn magic, but by their own strength. Relying on God, not relying on God, can human beings decide their own destiny. β
Although he didn't quite understand what Kellloya said, from his tone, Alicia also felt that Faris's statement was just sophistry and strong words.
"Because the ancient dragon only stayed in the continent of Inphilia for a short period of time, and at that time, humans had not yet developed civilization, so most ordinary people did not know that magic was learned by humans from dragons, but as a person who studied the way of demons, it is natural to understand this history. Kyeloa said and glanced meaningfully at Melus beside her, who pouted and bowed her head shyly.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you and say these incomprehensible words, I hope you can forgive me and continue to tell me your story?"
"Where, I have benefited a lot from this knowledge. β
Then, Alicia poured out what had happened next, and as she listened, sometimes nodding her head and asking some very detailed questions, she was really the most suitable listener.
"I'm really surprised, a while ago, the magic fluctuations I felt in the Necronomicon Mountain were actually caused by you? But, according to what you said, the Necromantic Mountain is not the whole mountain range has been purified, what else happened there?"
Seeing that Alicia didn't say a word, Kylloa turned to look at Darlon. This made Daron spread his hands innocently and answered:
"Don't look at me, I was going to visit Heaven. β
So, Kyeloa turned her head back to stare at Alicia, and was stabbed by that look, and Alicia finally confessed honestly:
"I don't know, I seem to have lost some of my memories. β
"You say it's lost?...... Are you asleep?" asked Kyeloa, a little puzzled.
"No, it's like a rope, cut off the middle section, and put the rest together, and that's how I remember it now. β
"Hmm......" Kelloa said with a deep look in his eyes, "In other words, during the time when your memory was blank, something might have happened, or someone, to purify the Necronomicon Mountain." But as far as I know, even the modern Saints of Light don't have such abilities. β
All four fell silent, and it was Alicia who was the first to break the silence.
"Hey, don't think about it, don't think about it, there's more important things now. After saying that, Alicia looked at Kylloa with blazing eyes, "Mr. Kylloa, would you like to be my companion?"
The girl suddenly came up with this sentence, an abrupt invitation.
